A Mac or Working Hackintosh running OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard.NOTE: This guide assumes you have access to a working OS X install- the fastest and easiest way to get the job done. To enable sleep after your install, follow this guide: Advanced DSDT Fixes: Enable Sleep on P55 Motherboards The only thing that will not be enabled by default is system sleep.
